Excellent Mexican Restaurant across the street as well as an ice cream shop! Given discount at restaurant by letting them know we are staying at Hotel Aura. Cash discount at ice cream shop. Although our room is in upper corner with windows to street, little noise noticed. Will definitely stay here again.

This is a very clean, comfortable, and well rounded hotel. The best things I like is they offer both free parking and shuttle service to SFO airport, which meet our family needs.
